Big-wave surfers in Hawaii and California are preparing for the biggest waves of the year this weekend after a massive, 8.9-magnitude earthquake hit Japan on Friday, triggering tsunami warnings across the U.S. West Coast as well as in 19 other countries.

I saw this blog and found it very helpful for my research paper I'm working on about the science of rouge waves. I'm doing a portion of my paper about big wave surfers and hoping to get some more information about surfing these huge waves. any info helps, thanks!
